The horror of only ever being asked about the number of colors allowed, despite that being very directly addressed in the jam rules.
If Discord existed in the GameBoy era, this would absolutely pass as an in-era parody of GameBoy games, instead of a parody of moderating the jam (and retrospective parody of GB games). Though I suppose replacing Discord with IRC would accomplish most of that. But I digress.
The game is well-crafted, actually managed to get Unity to behave and output 4 colors, and has a catchy soundtrack. The only question that seems to come up is the colors one, but considering the number of jam entries I've spotted that got tripped up by their engine in the color or resolution departments, I think I understand why its so common here.

Really funny idea and you pulled it off well. Seeing the different random posts scrolling by was pretty hilarious. I don't know if it's just my luck or if all of the questions are about how many colors you can use, but it would have been nice to see a little more variety on that side. But that's really a small thing since the random posts are really the best part. You nailed the old school pokemon feel with the "combat" dialogue too. Great job!
I feel like this should be a tutorial/FAQ requirement for everyone joining GBJam 13... play this before you can join the discord!
LOLL I love this. Really creative. Also thanks for using Soraboy, the music is catchy!
It was funny hahaha. IDK if the XX colors question is the only one that can appear, or maybe I just have bad luck? Or maybe it was intended to reflect how moderating the GBJam discord felt these days :P
The question of how many colours can we use seems to come up a lot. Is there any correlation to the actual discord haha. Cool simulation, very eye opening to being a moderator.
i keep adding cats to my game, but they do nothing
added an achievement for doing nothing
5/5
Life has many colours, but please don't use all of them for GBJAM!
I especially like the GB Camera-fied photo of your desk. I wonder how that was made?
